06 Headlight Aiming

I need to lower my headlights on my truck after installing the 2" leveling kit. It seems that every oncoming vehicle flashes me. Anyways, I read on here that there are two adjustments, but that doesn't make sense on the 06. It also doesn't mention anything about aiming in the 06 manual. I am wondering if you have to take the headlight assembly out of the truck to do aiming adjustments? I think there is one adjustment on the side of the lights nearest the radiator, but I see nothing on top. Thanks for any insight or help on this.

The adjustment on the side nearest the radiator is for the up and down and it uses a T-20 torx driver to do it. Left is down, right is up. Mine were a mile out from the factory too. I have never seen a left and right adjustment for them. Anyone?

The early 3rd gens had a left/right adjustment screw located between the bumper and headlight assembly. But I think this was dropped in '05??

These instructions seem a little complicated, but it's really very simple to do. I done this to my truck and it makes a lot of difference.

From what I have read the US does not think we need side to side aiming. Here is a link that might help with the aim.
